Beach Bum
If you have a particular love for the beach and want to make sure you are situated near the sound of crashing waves, there are many spots that you can visit to be in your perfect 4th of July setting. Virginia Beach is possibly one of the most patriotic spots to be during this time; taking a walk along the promenade will give you excellent views of the fireworks display as well as many live performances. You could also visit Huntington Beach in California. As one of America’s most famous beaches, with its magnificent pier, it would certainly be a treat to see how the city transforms on the spectacular day.

Historical setting
If you enjoy more of a historical setting, you can visit the National Mall and, more specifically, the US Capitol Building. This is where the annual “A Capitol Fourth” concert will take place. The event is free, and tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Make sure you watch the parade, which travels along Constitution Avenue, before you go to the concert to truly experience patriotism at its finest.
